This new state park opened in the fall
of 2006. It is a 17-acre island off the
shoreline of Lake Michigan in the heart
of Milwaukee. A bridge at each end of
the island will provide visitors with easy
access to the island, or one may dock
their boat and visit the park. Good birding
will be found here as you enjoy the
wide variety of species that will cruise
past the island.
A visitor center will be added along
with a river walk and harbor entrance
with a lakeside multi-use trail and good
fishing access to the lake. The park will
connect the Hank Aaron State Trail, and
the Oak Leaf Trail, a system of paved
trails and parkways traversing about
100 miles through Milwaukee County.

Directions: Entrance to park is south
of Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin.
Lakeshore State Park office is located in
Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin.
